5.0 out of 5 stars Great looking, sharp text, August 20, 2000

This review is from: Lexmark #50 Black Ink Cartridge (17G0050) (Office Product)

I just purchased a Lexmark Z32 which came with this cartridge as well as the 17G0060 color cartridge. This is my third inkjet printer and BY FAR the best. I've had an Epson and a Canon that were ok but this Lexmark is incredible. I realize this review is for the black cartridge only (sorry). I know everyone out there sees "laser quality" or "laser like" in reference to inkjets lately but this one truly is. The black text and lines from this cartridge are dark, crisp, and virtually without any bleed or feathering. An excellent product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Runs out too fast!, February 10, 2001

After printing very few documents, this cartrige ran out of ink. Before I even bought this printer the salesperson warned me that it would run out quickly. I didn't think it could be that bad, but it IS!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Really does run out too fast, September 13, 2002

By A Customer

The quality is fine, but if you're someone who prints out lots of monochrome documents, you'd be better off looking elsewhere. Lexmark does sell a 'high capacity' cartridge, but it obviously costs more too. Here's a tip I found out - whenever you're not printing, turn the power off! I don't mean pull the plug or flip the switch on your surge protector. If you don't manually turn off the printer with the power button, the cartridge won't go back to its holding position, and it'll just dry out during the night. BUT even so, I found this cartridge ran out after, oh, 200-300 monochrome pages. For the amount of stuff I print out, I'd like a cartridge that can handle at least 1,000!
